FAQs

Do you ever record demos or pre-production tracks? I want to record a song/piece but I don’t need it fit for commercial release?

Yes. I am happy to help you with recording a demo track(s) and I offer discounted rates for demo packages. Please email with info about your specific project.

I’ve never recorded in a studio before - or I’ve had bad experiences in commercial studios - so I’m reluctant to try recording in a studio environment.

Me too. As a musician, I’ve had several challenging musical experiences recording with pro engineers in commercial studios. Recording can be a vulnerable process and sometimes commercial environments and/or insensitive engineers make the process harder. I built this studio to be a creative space where it’s easy to feel inspired, experiment, and work efficiently without being rushed. I try to foster an environment that makes your work easier. I will follow your lead on what helps to make that happen.

Do you offer lessons? Can you help me to dial in a home recording set-up or teach me about recording?

Yes. I offer private lessons in music production/engineering/mixing, songwriting, home recording, and drum set, as scheduling allows. I also offer consulting sessions to musicians looking to refine their creative practice (i.e. developing consistent routines, getting feedback on works in progress, and generally being an advocate for your creative work).

What else do you do musically or creatively?

In addition to production, recording, and co-writing with various artists in the studio environment, I have played professionally as a performing drummer and percussionist for the past twenty years. I collaborate with the artist Night Teacher on drums/percussion, synth, and keyboards, in a guitar/percussion duo with guitarist Humberto Sales, and in a Hammond organ/drum duo called West of Wyatt. I write about music and the process of creating it, specifically exploring various threads related to recording, here on Substack.
